Tests to determine structural integrity of aircraft composite materials by the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A model advanced development composite aircraft in vertical position. A Tesla Coil is used to create extremely high voltage arcs. The voltage arcs strike and pass through the composite aircraft.
Tests to determine structural integrity of composite materials by the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A model advanced development composite aircraft in horizontal position facing left. A Tesla Coil is used to create extremely high voltage arcs. The voltage arcs strike and pass through the composite aircraft. The test conducted in the dark. The test repeated with the aircraft facing right.
During the period from 1973 to 1982 the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group, led by Robert K. Golka, conducted long arc simulated lightning attachment tests under Project Tesla. This film shows electrical "lightning" discharges being created with Tesla coils inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. (Several discharges display what appear to be "ball lightning.")
